Help and Support
Often graduate students encounter challenges or problems in their academic or personal life in which they need help or support. There are many resources at Texas A&M University to assist you. If you do not find what you need here, you can contact the Graduate Student Ombuds Officer at ombuds@tamu.edu who can help direct you to the appropriate resources.
Workplace Health and Well-being
How are you feeling today?
As you navigate life's ups and downs, pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, your energy level, and your overall mood each day. Just starting your day by asking yourself, “How am I doing today?” gives you a moment to focus on you.
